Obama gives $8 million to pro-dope consultants
August 13th, 2008 . by MartyIn response to a commenter on my last post about McCain fundraisers living the “Sex & the City” lifestyle, I wasn’t being facetious, and sure, I’ll give you a quick fact (it really doesn’t take long to look this stuff up). On Obama’s July campaign disbursement form, he says he gave $4 million to a company called “AB Data.” Of course, the Milwaukee Business Journal says it’s more like $8 million. AB Data is an online campaign fundraising company whose other clients include the pot-smoking Drug Policy Alliance Network, whose own website says its policy is “to end the war on drugs.” To quote:
DPA Network is the nation’s leading organization working to end the war on drugs….. The Drug Policy Alliance Network and its partner organization, the Drug Policy Alliance, are working hard state by state to educate lawmakers about marijuana and to make cannabis available….
This is who Obama is giving his money to.
AB Data is run by Dick Swett-loving “philanthropy-expert” Bruce Arbit. 
You are not playing nice. ABData\’s other clients include:
American Associates, Ben-Gurion University
American Foundation for the Blind
American Friends of Magen David Adom
American Jewish Committee
American Jewish Congress
American Society for Yad Vashem
Animal Legal Defense Fund
B’nai B’rith International
Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation
What’s wrong with “ending the war on drugs” as a point of policy? It doesn’t mean one is taking a pro-narcotics stance - as your post obviously attempts to infer. Some believe that ending interdiction and shifting those resources onto the “demand” side of the drug supply equation will reap far better results in finally ending the cancer of drug abuse in the US. And … so … ??? What’s the big deal?
